She said that communicative games can create good circumstances in which students can learn while playing the games. It makes the students feel comfort in their learning and also reduce their boredom and stress. However, she told that this technique needs a good preparation. The more the teacher prepare the more it will lead to success.

First Title	Teacher Narratives in Teacher Development : Focus on Diary Studies
Sources	From my lecture
Background	This article discusses diary writing as one of the best tools for developing reflective thinking, which can be employed in a variety of teaching and learning contexts, for both experienced and inexperienced/pre-service teachers. Diaries are instances of teacher narratives that contribute to constructing professional knowledge, as they record and interpret teachers’ stories in a systematic fashion and are contextualized in the teacher’s working environment.
Research question (s)	The motivation for them comes from teachers’ desire to comprehend their own practices and to improve them. Also, writing is fundamental to thinking as it allows the writer to name, categorize and interpret and, later on, re-interpret experiences at first subjectively described.
Research Procedure	1. Identification and interpretation of selected critical incidents that occurred in class. 2. Topic concerns of pre-service teachers and shifts in concerns across the teaching practice period. 3. Self-evaluation: successes and failures rate at different stages. 4. Trainees’ final evaluation of themselves: strong and weak points.
Result / Findings	The results of this project demonstrated that focused diary writing, if well-structured, can motivate trainee-teachers to develop an active approach to their teaching and deepen their classroom awareness and teacher presence. Experience shows that diary writing needs to be closely monitored by the supervisor and that regular feedback should be given at each stage, alongside school mentor’s feedback on the trainees’ performance in the classroom (Gabrys ´Barker 2012).
Conclusion	To conclude, it seems that diary writing should be included in teacher training programs and it should be employed at different stages of teacher development.
